Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	Thank you for your feedback. From the screenshots provided, I couldn’t identify where exactly the language switcher was added, as that specific section isn’t visible. However, if you added the language switcher via WPML → Languages, then everything should be working correctly, and it confirms that you’re not using Twig templates for the language switcher.
